Legal Aid of East Tennessee in partnership with the Knoxville Bar Association Bankruptcy Section offers a Debt Relief Legal Advice Clinic for pre-screened individuals.  Those who qualify will receive a bankruptcy packet to be completed before the clinic. Clients will also need to bring their tax returns and pay stubs to the clinic.

THIS IS NOT A WALK-IN CLINIC.  INDIVIDUALS MUST BE PRE-SCREENED, AND MUST CONTACT LAET’S KNOXVILLE OFFICE TO GO THROUGH CLIENT INTAKE.

Clients accepted for the clinic should arrive no later than 9:35 a.m. to receive an overview about debt issues, the bankruptcy system, and reasons why someone may not need to file bankruptcy. Clients will then be paired with volunteer attorneys to discuss debt relief options.

To be pre-screened for the Debt Relief Legal Advice Clinic, call LAET’s Knoxville office at (865) 637-0484, or visit www.laet.org and click on “Begin Client Intake.”
